Help - Pajero Question - Shocks change

[jobs]

I have a 98 Pajero, the Field Master. Is there an "objective" wasy to check if my shocks need replacement? I've heard of Old Man Emu, would this improve improve the ride? I understand best results would be to get the shocks and coils replaced. Would anyone have actual experience with the Pajero and Old Man? How much would it cost? The guys I've talked to owned Terranos. TIA for the info.

Sa likod lang may coils springs ang Pajero. Torsion bars ang gamit niya sa harap.

If the shocks feel loose or floaty then it's time to let them go. Also check the physical appearance of the shock for bushing wear, fluid leaks and other damages.

If you switch to OME or Bilstein, your adjustable suspension will not be adjustable anymore. But IMHO, OME and Bilstein are way better than the stockers.

pwde makisingit ng tanong ?
Otep, Marwen, PK etc.. pansin ko kasi pajero ko sa harap medyo mababa ng konti compared sa ibang pajero, Ok lang ba i-adjust using the torsion bar? May nagsabi kc sa akin wag na daw dahil baka madali ito maputol pag inadjust. Na-try nyo na ba?ty.

[OTEP]

Oo nga parang 'hot rod' ang porma naka-yuko ang harap. Ok lan g naman ipa-adjust ang torsion bar to level it off. Just make sure to have the front wheels realigned afterwards.

CZ,
delikado magpapihit for a lift kasi merong mga gumagawa na sobrasobra sagad, pwersado na. since papantayin mo lang, madali lang yan and di sasagad yan. besides, pag pinihit ang torsion bar, wala namang binabago dito na makakasira. parang yung kamay lang ng relo, mula 1 pumunta sa 2. ganun lang yun. kung madali maputol yan, by now putol na yan.

ok salamat sa mga feedback.
Pero bakit kaya nakatungo ang harapan ko? ganon ba talaga mga 96 model? di pa naman yata sira shocks ko eh.

[kimpOy]

dont go beyond 2 inches,
magiging matagtag.

[Bubbles]

wala sa shocks ang ride height. may mga batch ng pajero talaga na ganyan. 3 na sa mga kapitbahay ko ang nagpapihit ng torsion bar.

[OTEP]

Pansin ko nga madaming Pajero na bagsak ang nguso. Even mine is like that. I think hindi naman nila binabaan ang harap. Tinaasan lang yung likod para kapag full load, hindi nakaharap sa langit.

Yan ang sakit ng torsion bars, lumulundo talaga katagalan ng gamit. Restoring it back to its own original height wont damage it. Just DON'T overdo things.

Kung duda ka sa pag pihit nyan, dalhin mo sa shop nila Freeman. He's more willing to share more insights to your torsion problems. :D

(plugging ba?)

Just got to check today. Thanks for the input and info. Will start search now.

cz,

when i got my Paj('96), it was box stock. The front wasnt really that low. But when i got OME springs for my rear, the stance changed and the front seemed lowered. a simple torsion crank at servitek leveled things off.

here's a tip.... since your gonna have your wheels aligned/corrected anyway and i recall youre from pasig(tama ba?). Have it done in Servitek Kapitolyo. My alignment dude there is Zaldy. Pag aalign na, tanong mo kung pwede pa-adjust yung tosion bar. Pwede naman yun e. hehe. Just give him a generous tip afterwards, so that pag meron back-job, priority ka.
